I've been hearing that for 15 years. It's no more true today than back
then.

92UL is but a few signatures away. A very tiny number of engines can't
use it but everything else can.

Merely a downturn as in the 70's. Aviation is cyclical.



If I were looking for a plane like this (and I own a very similar
airplane) I would restrict my search to normally-aspirated, low
compression engines that can run on mogas. (Although even that is a
crap-shoot now, with mandatory ethanol pollution in many states.) At
least you'll have a plane that can be used (and sold) at some point
down the line.


Buying a plane that can run on mogas has a lower life expectancy than
100LL. Won't be long before all mogas has alcohol.
